Mike assisted on the 3rd goal and scored the 4th. I cant wait for the Zalewski/Bourbonnais one two punch coming in next season and add that on top of the current freshmen class we have now....... wow!

It matters how far back "used to" refers to. In the case of RPI, SA apparently believes that it offers better competition than other leagues (not counting the CHL).

Thanks for the links. I agree completely about Z and B.

Re: RPI 2011 - 12 Recruit Thread

Riley Bourbonnais listed as a USHL early season standout by Chris Peters on his blog "The United States of Hockey"

http://unitedstatesofhockey.com/2011...ks-off-friday/

Riley Bourbonnais went undrafted in his first year of eligibility while skating for the Berkshire School in Massachusetts. Now, he’s hooked up with the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. In a league where he’ll undoubtedly get more exposure, Bourbonnais may get a second chance.

As one of the fastest teams in the USHL this season, Cedar Rapids should do well offensively and Bourbonnais could be a big part of that. He scored five goals in six preseason games, including three in two games against Dubuque, one of the stronger opponents the Riders faced. As a second-year eligible, he will fly under the radar, but don’t sleep on him.

Ill also note that J. Modry was behind the RPI bench last night in place of Nolan Graham who im guessing is out on the recruiting trail. Its possible Graham was in Alberta this weekend scouting the AJHL showcase.

Re: RPI 2011 - 12 Recruit Thread

USHR posted their USHL Fall Classic review and had a few things to say about RPI recruits Bourbonnais and Bradley.

We thought 5'11" Riley Bourbonnais, a '93 LW from the Berkshire School, did a fine job, and adapted quickly to the pace.

We liked RPI recruit Chris Bradley, a 6'1", 190 lb. '93 defenseman from Williamsville, NY. Solid. Nothing flashy.

They also had some good things to say about a few other NYers playing in the USHL this year that might be on RPI's radar. I dont have any knowledge that RPI is actually after these players, just using the fact that we've seen a steady increase with in-state recruits recently.

Kevin Morris, Dubuque

6'4", 193 lb. late '92 LW Kevin Morris, formerly at Salisbury and the son of Manchester Monarchs (AHL) head coach Mark Morris, looked good. More agile than we expected, and he showed a little bit of touch around the net. It's taken him a while to grow into his body, but he'll wind up helping a Div. I school.

Zach Aston-Reese, Lincoln

6', 185 lb. '94 forward Zach Aston-Reese, who recently decomitted from Brown, was very good. Look for him to get a lot of attention in the coming months. Reese is in his second year with Lincoln.

J.T. Stenglein, Youngstown

6'2" LW J.T. Stenglein, a '93, is uncommitted and really showed something, scoring an unassisted goal with 27 seconds left when he just ripped one under the crossbar vs. Cedar Rapids.

Nice goal. He should fit in well with this year's freshmen.

The wraparound never works! Great shot selection there, I look forward to seeing more goals from him.

Re: RPI 2011 - 12 Recruit Thread

Thanks for the links.

It seems like a good portion of USHL clubs have their own youtube channel where they upload highlights of each home game, which is nice since its hard to go see USHL games in person being a mid-west based league. Im hopeful someday they will expand further east past Youngstown and maybe into NY/PA.
